“Plagiarism is necessary. It is implied in the idea of progress. It clasps the author’s sentence tight, uses his expressions, eliminates a false idea, replaces it with the right idea.”
— Comte de Lautréamont
VIII. For Guillaume Apollinaire
Fording the flooded causeway
bridging the bleeding gap
across the corner of my eye –
& every time I cross again
dark river & the shadow shores
cold bells rejoice & praise
these cinders of unreason:
invincible April eyes
beaming their gentle verdict
as storm clouds burst asunder
